Any leaked contents from the drums shall also <br /> be cleaned up and placed in acceptable drums for disposal. All drums shall be <br /> labeled, sampled, and recorded in the inventory log before moving. <br /> • Samples taken from each drum (before moving to the storage area) shall be ana- <br /> lyzed for pentachlorophenol, copper, chrome, and arsenic. If, after these <br /> analyses, the drum contents are still unknown, a determination by visual in- <br /> spection should be attempted. Any drum contents still not identified shall be <br /> chemically analyzed for definate identification. <br /> • The inventory log shall be completed (except for analysis data) for each drum <br /> before they are moved to the storage area. <br /> All other portions of McCormick & Baxter's August 10, 1983 submittal not included <br /> in the above are acceptable. Cleanup procedures should commence with receipt of <br /> this letter. <br /> If there are any questions, please call Gary Reents, Project Engineer, or James <br /> Pappas, Senior Engineer at (916) 739-3145. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ames L. t hle P. <br /> f. <br /> Regional Administrator <br /> GAR:mlb <br /> cc: Bob Fujii, RWQCB <br /> T -,I -,.,, I.,1 , n_.,.
